Some of his hymns are included in the Danish hymnbook Psalmebog for Kirke og Hjem. Single stanzas of his hymn 1633 hymn "Jesu Leiden, Pein und Tod", a narration of the Passion in 34 stanzas, were set for four parts by Johann Sebastian Bach, as the closing chorale of cantata Sehet, wir gehn hinauf gen Jerusalem, BWV 159, a chorale of cantata Himmelskönig, sei willkommen, BWV 182, and three stanzas reflecting dramatic situations in the St John Passion.
